The Scene
This airy Fremont store owes its distinctly European look to owners Jim and Becky Buford, who built it as a beauty products-oriented counterpart to Les Amis. Jim designed the place, from the elaborate iron jewelry cases to the rakishly conceived counter. The stone fountain in the center of the store burbles country French elegance. The products are all European or Euro-inspired (read: pure and not perfumy).
The Goods
Delicate bath products, precious baby clothes and dainty loungewear all flaunt an unmistakable French accent here. Peruse products from L'Occitane, E. Coudray Paris and the Fresh cosmetics line, otherwise available only at Barneys (check out the hazelnut clove wrapped in lizard-skin paper and tied with a copper filigree). Though some items are sinfully indulgent ($72 for a pair of slippers), others are downright reasonable ($7 for Fresh soaps).

Follow your nose....as you walk down 35th street in quaint Fremont you'll be led straight to Essenza. By far the most beautiful store I've ever had the pleasure of stepping foot into. You'll be romanced by it's old world charm and enchanted by all of the luxury products so beautifully displayed. Hands down the best parfumery I've been in even better than the european one's I've visited. Find out how much better scent is when it's blended by a real parfumer and not filled with imitation scents but rather authentic essences. Some favorites are Diptyque, Serge Luten, L'artisan & Carthusia. The bath products will make your senses hungry for more. Try the hamman bath soak by Red Flower and the Sake bath by Fresh and your sure to be transported into another world. Not to mention the stunning jewelry from local and other US designers...especially Jamie Joseph our own fabulous creator of the most stunning gemstone jewelry! I could go on and on clearly. You must go in and have some time so you can puruse.

Know Before You Go:
Gifts for girls are a cinch here. Gift-wrapping is always free; better still, it looks expensive.
The Extras:
Pop around the corner to Les Amis for something to wear over all the products you picked up.
